HIMSS Analytics continues its series of strategic industry reports with the release of the 2013 U.S. Clinical & Business Intelligence Study. The study represents unique Voice of Customer (VOC) insight from over 500 hospitals on market adoption, market share, market opportunity and vendor mind share across the U.S. market.

“Our findings indicate that the current focus in the marketplace is on managing, extracting and analyzing data via embedded tools within organizations’ HIS / EMR solutions,” said Brendan FitzGerald, HIMSS Analytics Research Director.

The study includes Voice of Customer (VOC) insight on hospitals, highlights of which include:

Over 50% of those hospitals that use a Clinical & Business Intelligence (C&BI) solution indicated the primary source of C&BI was embedded within their HIS/EMR.

Enterprise Data Warehouses are the most widely used platform for storing/pulling C&BI data; fewer organizations have adopted operational data stores or transactional systems.

Respondents indicated they are less inclined to purchase a best of breed C&BI solution due to satisfaction with tools currently in place.
